They have not signed anyone since waiving injured Josh Howard on Thursday and will continue auditions after Christmas before they sign a free agent such as former Wolves forward Lazar Hayward, James Anderson, Shaun Livingston or perhaps find a way to get Raja Bell out of exile in Utah in their search to find a wing player, preferably one who can defend. "If you're going to add somebody, you need to add somebody who will have a legitimate chance to help you," Adelman said. "Just to bring a body in ... I'm probably not going to play him, unless we have another injury. We'll play the guys we have." Minneapolis Star-Tribune

However, conventional wisdom says the Jazz could be active in the trade market for a point guard. General manager Dennis Lindsey declined comment on the team’s plans at the position until the Jazz have a better sense of the long-term prognosis.

The Jazz are carrying a maximum 15 players, including exiled Raja Bell and D-League assignee Kevin Murphy, so they'd have to waive or trade someone to bring in another point guard. A move does not appear imminent. Deseret News

"Sprain" is quickly becoming one of the most feared
words around the Jazz organization.

And why not? After Mo Williams suffered a "severely
sprained" right thumb, a second doctor advised the point guard undergo surgery
that will keep him out a minimum of six weeks.

So, forgive anyone who was a little skittish over
Thursday’s news that second-year center Enes Kanter suffered a sprained right
ankle in the waning moments of Wednesday’s win over Minnesota. He did not
practice Thursday and is listed as doubtful for Friday at Phoenix.

In fairness, a sprain is typically a relatively minor
and treatable injury, and there are no indications that Kanter will miss
significant time. But for a team that has been besieged by injuries, the latest
is just an added layer of frustration.

"It’s another one of our guys down," Jazz coach Tyrone
Corbin said. "We’ll miss him; hopefully it’s not very serious and he’ll get
back soon. We’ll just have to shorten and tighten the rotation."
